The world of miniatures is explored in this book, not small things but large things created in miniature form. I do enjoy books like this, taking a non-fiction subject and running with ideas producing an eclectic collection for the reader. For most of this book that is what it is. However I found some of the chapters rather repetitive - architectural models for example. The running theme of the Eiffel Tower was amusing and overall this was a short and perfectly enjoyable book without setting the world on fire!

I liked a lot of the individual stories but the author put a damper on a fun light-hearted topic with sometimes dour writing and judgmental statements.

A book about miniatures really needs full-color pictures.

Actually a 4-star read, but he has a mini rant at the end against Lego for which it should lose all the stars, but I've contented myself with subtracting one.
